TestDriveMotor(device)

This macro adds a drive motor to the global connectedDevices array.

Parameter

• device - The device to add to the array.

Inner Workings

See TestDevice for a more detailed explanation. This macro uses a different AddDevice constructor that takes a boolean parameter to indicate if the motor is a drive motor. This is used later in testMotorConfiguration.

Which makes the actual definition look like this:

#define TestDriveMotor(device) AddDevice device##AddDevice(#device, &device, true);

What all this macro craziness allows me to do is make a macro that very cleanly does what would be much more work if I had to do it manually.

//Macro style:
motor motor1 = motor(PORT1);
TestDriveMotor(motor1);

//Cpp style:
motor motor1 = motor(PORT1);
AddDevice motor1AddDevice("motor1", &motor1, true);
